PRICELESS PRINCESS

Contemporary Romance

 

Jade Oliver’s father passed away four months ago, leaving her stepmother the heir of his estate.  Jade’s father left her a map that shows her where an opal mine is on the property so she decides the best way to have access to the property is to acquire a job working as the bookkeeper for the station.  

Blake Jordan is the sexy Texas rancher who bought Stony Creek Station from Jade’s stepmother and the man of Jade’s dreams.  Trying to seek out the opal mine and find a way into Blake Jordan’s heart is not as easy as Jade originally anticipates.  To find the mine she needs time away from Blake but to get closer to Blake she needs to spend more time with him. 

One of the most amusing parts of this book is the cultural difference between Blake and Jade.  Blake continuously uses American phrases that make no sense to Australian Jade.  Jade’s endless ramblings about insignificant things drive’s Blake insane at first but as time goes by he finds that he misses it when she is not around.   

The book moves along at a steady pace keeping the reader from becoming bored and losing interest.  The intimate scenes between Blake and Jade are not so intense as to turn off readers who might not like the explicit stuff yet are steamy enough to show how passionate the lovers are.   

Jade and Blake are a super couple and PRICELESS PRINCESS is a great book that is well worth the read.  This reviewer would love to read the first book in this series PRINCESS FOR SALE that is about Jade’s friend Lara; however, it is not necessary to read it to be able to enjoy PRICELESS PRINCESS.
